01 — Entry preparation and review
Your proposed service tier sets the priority of our document-review queue. Missing or inconsistent details need correction before an application can move forward. The proposed targets are 5 business days for Standard, 3 for Rush and as fast as 2 for Super Rush. The clock begins when the complete application and required documents have been received. Government review follows separately; these targets still need operational approval before launch.
02 — Official portal checks
Submission is followed by the relevant verification steps. An incomplete file or additional evidence request can affect the overall time.
03 — Consular review
The official portal states that consular posts may take up to 10 business days after an application is completed, verified and sent to the responsible post. That is not a 10-day promise from your purchase date.

The official portal recommends starting two months before travel. Do not treat a paid priority package as permission to make nonrefundable plans before approval.
